Dined here last week for the first time but to my dissapointment the service very rude and arrogant. Over priced food very limited choice, where is the fresh vegetables and herbs that we hear about pn TV, is three slices of carrots and a blob of potatoe thr best you can do? Pathetic!!!!at €75 per person its Ireland Rip Off... More

What can I say? It's like an episode of father Ted meets The Irish RM with a side helping of Michelin starred quality traditional food. Every tourist to Ireland should be required to stay here to sample the authentic, quirky, eccentric Ireland of the pre-tiger economy replete with waitresses who have worked here for years, dressed in black and white...

We stayed on the lower level, in the back of the house, with lovely views of the garden and a private patio. This place is well run and pays attention to detail. The staff were helpful and pleasant. Breakfast was delicious with many in house made delights....loved the bread! If you stay, avail yourself of the sitting room, it's a... More

This is the first online review I have ever felt compelled to write, and unfortunately it is for the wrong reasons. Our April 2012 stay began when we were told upon check-in that our 6-year-old son was unwelcome in the dining room during dinner hour.

Luckily we picked two days which were some of the warmest March days on record. Its a lovely setting with extensive grounds and gardens. One should be aware that it is also a working... More

Spent a great night in ballymaloe. Room not luxurious, but the food at dinner was second to none, not pretentious in any way, good local food cooked to perfection & served by people who cared. Would return at any time Mary downes

We stayed here as a treat for little women's Christmas and it really was so relaxing. The 7 course dinner was outstanding. Loved the idea of going up for the starter. The grey mullet doesn't sound nice but it was lovely. A real foodie's place! The breakfast was even better those pears were to die for. I loved that there... More

The whole experience of staying and dining has been brought to a very high level due to decades of practice, attention to detail and that very important personal touch. When we arrived on this occasion, we were met with my favourite check-in greeting "we are pleased to offer you a complimentary upgrade". The room was first class and very relaxing.... More
